My apologies to all Sassy readers and writers who've been enjoying the Barack pic, but here are some quick news tidbits from the last couple days.
In yet another way that Barack's election is changing the world for the better, European countries are showing more willingness to accept Guantanamo prisoners to help Barack close that horrible blight.
In other Barack news, he'll be swearing on the same Bible as Lincoln did at the inauguration. I find that cool, but the Washington Monthly's expecting two negative reactions: 1) the nerve of him using Lincoln's Bible! and 2) what, no Koran?
I suppose this shouldn't be surprising, but conservative radio hosts and folks like Rove are arguing that the economy's not all that bad, but the liberal media is saying it is to help out Barack. It must be nice to not have to worry about actual truth when writing/reporting.
New Census data is out with implications for Congress and Electoral votes. Interesting tidbit: for the first time since the early 1970s, Florida lost population. I, for one, am happy anytime Florida loses a little influence.
For those of you traveling today, be safe and have a great holiday!

i think that's very cool about the bible. very, very cool. i also like how barack said in an interview a few weeks ago that he would definitely be using his full name (including hussein) at the swearing in. he felt like that would have a real impact on people who feel marginalized in this country.
love. him.
